GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute. $MovementSHIFT- When the price of the good changes there is a movement along the demand curve. We call it a change in quantity demanded.- When factors other than the price of thegood change, there is a SHIFT in thedemand curve. We call it a change in demand.Factors that Shift the Demand Curve- Prices or related goods- substitutes (coke & Pepsi)- complements (car & gasoline)- Consumer Income- normal goods (positive relationship between income and consumption)*move in the same direction- inferior goods- Consumer preferences - unfavorable demand shifts LEFT- favorable demand shifts RIGHT- Number of Buyers- negative (demand)- buyers expectations (negative relationship)QDemand CurvesSupply CurvesMovementShiftWe call it a change in demand NOT a change in quantity demanded!Supply: the quantity supplied of a good of service is the amount of the good or service offered for sale at a given price holding all other factors constantSupply Curve: of a particular good or service shows the various quantities supplied at different prices holding all other factors constant (supply curve is GENERALLY positively sloped)Factors Shifting the Supply (from sellers’ perspective)- Price of other goods: Already making or potentially could make- Price relevant resources: which goes into the productions- Technology- Sellers expectations- Number of SellersMarket Equilibrium Market Equilibrium: is at the intersection of demand and supply- Gives equilibrium price and quantity- Is that price at which the quantity demanded of a good equals its quantity suppliedCharacteristics of Market Equilibrium- Quantity demanded= quantity supplied- No shortage or surplus – the market clears- Equilibrium Price is stable – no tendency to rise or
